  A Good Decade

  by theliberator in

  if you were really into the organization back in the 80's, you have to admit, that it was the peak of the organization.

  it was a time of high energy and excitement.

  like any nation, it reaches a peak and then it declines.

  The decade of excitement and enthusiasm was 1966 to 1975, in my opinion. But I wasn't around in the pre 1914 days, I expect those were heady times.

  Suppose Serena Williams played a tennis match in Iran and they made her were a head covering in order to compete. It would be ridiculous. As I see it, this is what is happening there. These women are all world class competitors and are quite famous in chess circles. They are not Iranian and are not Muslim. Maybe there is more to the story that will come out in time, but it really is odd.

  Even though I am glad to see a chess tournament being held, if I were in that position I think I would boycott it and decline to participate.

  If there were a tennis tournament in Iran, would the best women players agree to participate if they had to wear traditional garb while playing? Seriously, I doubt it.

  I don't know what they are thinking, but to me it is outrageous.

  It really looks strange to western viewers to see the European women with the traditional garb, but is it wrong? Considering the WT's past stand on headcoverings, it is an interesting story.

  We may have interbred with Neanderthals earlier than previously thought.

  it is now thought that we have been interbreeding with neanderthals as early as 100,000 years ago.. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661.

  craziest thing i just realized: some women still breed with neanderthals up to this day.

  rihanna and chris brown anyone?.

  these numbers and letters:--gbr659967--are the only identifying markson this boe..the "informant" who sent it said:.

  "this letter came through the congregation inbox and so hasn't got theusual identifying information.

  the name of the file is probably thebest way to identify it.

  Surely someone can post both old and new for comparison. I've never heard of the form. It's sad that they have such a thing for shunning.

  i had never heard of this woman, but given prince's jw connection and this person's identification as an evangelist, is there a jw connection that anyone knows about?.

  I'll make an assertion which will no doubt find diagreement.

  The JW religion exists as it is due to the influence of three persons:

  William Miller

  Charles Russell
